Al, you got a better idea for keeping Sheila quiet?　My house and Asmo's house are next door to each other. At this rate, it's only a matter of time before Sheila and her sister meet. I'll get shirted by my sister and I'll be out. If that happens, the moment Elinora-sama comes back, I'll have to tip off my dear friend Al, too.

　Thor tells me that with a somewhat theatrical expression on his face.

　If he's an important friend, don't snitch on him there. If it weren't for that, everything would be fine with me....

　I don't directly say the words from my heart, but instead I think about it.

　The time limit is until Emma's sister comes home.

　It's safe to say that I'll meet Sheila-san as soon as sister Emma wanders in front of the house.

　Then later on, Thor's betrayal will be confirmed and I'll be shibbolethed as soon as sister Elinora returns.

　........I must take action quickly.

'More than that, water!　What's going on when you invite a guest into your home and there's not a single drop of water in sight!

　As me and Thor are discussing how to avoid sanctions from my sister, Asmo next to me makes an irritated noise.

'Nah, we're talking about something important right now. You could at least fill up the water yourself.'

"You're putting me to work as a customer!　That's enough, I'll let Al magically put me in!

'Hey, Asmo. You don't mind putting me to work as a guest and a nobleman?

　After calling out to Thor about how he was going to make his customers work so much, he ended up being just like Thor.

　When I asked him to protest, Asmo didn't seem to take offense.

Because if Al puts it in, it comes with ice.

'It's true!　Which would make Al the drinker this season!

　I take advantage of Asmo's words and Thor says something I don't understand.

　I don't want to feel like I'm Thor and Asmo's servant then, but it's time for me to get a drink, although it's annoying because I'm thirsty too, but I decide to get a drink.

　I used earth magic while sitting on a chair. I made three good-sized cups and used ice magic to fill them with blocks of ice. I use water magic to fill each of them with water, and that's it.

''Yes, it's done.''

　When I said that, they both tipped their cups in silence, as if they were thirsty.

　Then he gulped and slammed it down on the table with great force.

'Pfft!　Yum!　So happy to have so much cold water to drink in the summer!

The cold water stings!

　The perfect gesture is an old man drinking ale in a bar.

　Well, in this hot season, a cold drink tastes better than anything else. It's no wonder the two of them would make such a gesture.

　It's not possible for any villager to be able to use ice magic, and there is no way that any villager would have a high-grade ice magic tool.

　I've been thinking about this while I've been tipping my own cup.

　The water cooled by ice magic enters your mouth and moistens your thirsty mouth. It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with your friends.

　The exhilarating feeling of heat being taken away from my body that had been burning from the sunshine and hot air outside.

''Phew!　Delicious!

　I found myself slamming my glass on the table as well as the two of us.

　If it's a hot summer, cold water can taste so much better.

　The next time you go up the mountain and get some fresh spring water, it's not a bad idea to cool it down with ice magic and drink it.

　I'm sure it would taste better than magically made water.

　No, I will definitely do it. That was the moment I made up my mind to do so.

"Al, I'll have another one!

Okay.

　Thor and Asmo both hold out a cup to me, and I pour water for them, including my own, using the water magic method.

　As soon as I poured it out, Thor and Asmo drank it all at once again and demanded a refill.

　It seems that they were too thirsty.

　After the third drink, they finally calmed down and didn't ask for a refill.

'Al's a convenience I'd like to have in the family,'

Don't give me that compliment.

　Was it the Roomba that first came up with it?　

　Oddly enough, I think that compliment is starting to take hold.

　I'm drinking my water while I'm thinking about it, when Thor asks me, "Hey, Al.

You know, Al," he says. You can't make a huge ice cube with magic?　Then I think the house will be cooler.

'Oh, sure. If they had a big ice cube or something, that would make the room cooler by itself.

　When we satisfy one desire, we have a second one.

　After satisfying one desire, Thor and Asmo seemed to have a desire for cooler temperatures.

'It is indeed hot. Well, let's make it cooler!　It's so sweet to just install ice!

　Even though I was thinking about that, I had the same feelings about their words, so I immediately took the suggestion.

　I got off the chair and held my arms up in the air and activated my ice magic.

　I released cold air all over the inside of Thor's house.

　The cold air that was spat out in white spread out to exterminate the hot air in the room.

''Ooohhhhhh!　Cool!

　Thor and Asmo, who had benefited from the cold air, were screaming with excitement.

'Awesome, Al!　You can't even do this!　You've been promoted from beverage attendant to cold air attendant!

　I'm not at all happy to be praised like that.

''It's a walking ice mage!

　When it comes to this one, you are completely disregarding my human rights.

''I'm going to close the door so the cold air doesn't escape for now.

　Thor and Asmo were so impressed with the cold air that they didn't move at all, so I closed the windows and doors in the house with my psychic.

　Phew, now the temperature inside won't be rising for a while.

　It was dim due to the lack of sunlight, so I activated the non-magical light ball.

　I made about five light balls that just glow and placed them in the room.

''Yeah, now it's as bright as daylight.

　When I was satisfied with the brightness of the room, Thor and Asmo, who had finally calmed down, said with a strange look on their faces.

''Well I've been wondering until now, is Al actually a pretty awesome wizard?''

They don't run out of magic at all, unlike us.

　Thor and Asmo muttered that, and how's that for a look?　He asks.

'Hmmm, what do you think?　I'm not sure how to use magic differently than the average wizard in the world.

　I know that thanks to God, I have a lot of magic power that is uncommonly high, but I'm not sure if you ask me how my actual skills are.

　I'm better at controlling magic power than Aleusha and Illya, the members of the Silver Wind, but I don't have any experience with the kind of combat skills the world is looking for.

　I'm not sure what the world is looking for in a wizard in the first place.

　If I could use earth magic to make Jenga faster or something like that, I'd be confident, but I don't seem to need it.

　I'm not going to use magic to contribute to the country, and I don't plan to work, so there's no need to think about it.

　I'll be able to live a rich slow life with my current magic technology and spatial magic.

　That's enough for me.

'....Hey, Al, I've got an idea. I've got an idea, how about we entertain Sheila here and keep her quiet?

'Not bad. We have cold air and cold ice water to blow away the heat here. It's quite possible to negotiate.

　For Sheila, who is suffering from the heat, Thor's house is a paradise right now.

　If we provide her with a comfortable time in this place, I'm sure Sheila will be able to keep her mouth shut.

What do you think, Asmo?

''........Sis doesn't like the heat, so I think it'll work. As a no-brainer, we could serve her some food as a souvenir and it would be perfect........

'I see!　Sheila loves to eat!　If that happens, we'll nostalgicize with a dish of souvenir condiments!

　This is going to work. My future and Thor's future is getting brighter and brighter!

　Me and Thor laugh at each other, our expressions brightening.

'Alright then, let's get this over with!

Thor, wait!　If we go from here, they might be warned that there is a backstab. Let's induce them to come here from the other side and sell them a favor.

'Yes!　If that's the case, Al, come over to this window!

　Thor, who immediately understood my words, moves with agile movements to the window.

　It's the closest place to Thor's house and Asmo's house.

　It's a good idea to be able to have a conversation with them in close proximity to each other if you open the window.

''Can you use the ice magic from earlier here to send cold air?　That would allow cold air to flow into Asmo's house through the cracks in the wooden windows!

That's Thor. You're the best operator in Colliat.

Heh, heh, come on. Al's got a lot of wisdom to offer.

　When I praise him here and there, Thor returns the compliment with humility.

　At times like this, me and Thor really get along with each other.

''Well we're both just cunning.
